Reduces Effectiveness

Cruciferous Vegetables

Test tube studies show that watercress, garlic, tea, and cruciferous vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and Chinese cabbage, block the breakdown of chlorzoxazone into inactive compounds. Controlled human research is needed to determine whether these interactions are important in people taking chlorzoxazone.

Potential Negative Interaction

Foods with Caffeine

Controlled studies show that chlorzoxazone reduces the elimination of caffeine from the body, which could cause side effects of caffeine, such as restlessness and insomnia. If side effects occur, some individuals may need to avoid caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and tea, while taking chlorzoxazone.
